Heston turns his attention to Chicken tikka masala. He heads to Delhi where he trys to unravel the complicated roots of this dish.

On returning to his restaurant in Bray, Heston try to build his own tandoor but soon realizes that most people aren't able to dig a five-foot-deep hole in the ground and line it with fire bricks. So, he comes up with a more accessible solution - a barbecue, but with a few bespoke alterations.

In Cambridge, Heston puts a chicken breast through a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to see how a marinade affects the meat as he trys to create the perfect sauce.
